Indian captain Rohit Sharma, addressing the media on the eve of the match, highlighted the uncertainty posed by the weather. "The overhead condition is in nobody's control, you don't know what is going to happen. The only thing I am worried is if the game goes on till pretty late we have a chartered flight and we might miss that," Sharma stated.
The semi-final, set to be an intense contest, could be impacted by rain or poor light, potentially prolonging the duration of play. Such a delay could interfere with India's schedule, as they have a chartered flight booked to their next destination immediately following the match.
With weather forecasts remaining unpredictable, the team management is reportedly considering contingency plans to address any delays. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is also in discussions to ensure that the team can travel smoothly, regardless of the match's outcome and timing.
As fans eagerly await the showdown, the potential for weather-related disruptions adds an extra layer of tension to an already high-stakes game. Both teams remain focused on the prize, but logistical concerns are an unwelcome distraction for the Indian squad.
The cricketing world will be watching closely as the match unfolds, hoping for clear skies and an uninterrupted contest. Further updates will follow as the situation develops.
